Blade head on Weed Eater Question

[kyleseipp]

I had a Shindawa with the saw blade on it years ago, but it met an untimely demise.

In my move to my new home place, I have a ton of small underbrush that such a saw blade head machine would do great, but rather than buy one, I would just like to add the head onto my Weed Eater now. Problem is that I have moved over to the hybrid Ryobi (batt or electric).

I was curious if anyone had put the saw blade on an electric Weed Eater, and if the RPM and Power was sufficient. In researching it, I have not found of an instance where someone had.

I dont think there is anyway it will have enough power to be effective and the shaft components will probably not be strong enough either.
Blades on low end or even medium quality weedeaters will likely break something

Heck i have a blade on a mid duty ECHO and its not enough..

You better get a machete out or go rent a small tractor with a mower or something.

I kinda figured it would be of issue. To move faster, I was thinking shredder w chains, but some of the areas are pretty tight.

See if you can rent one of those walk behind bush hogs.
